<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='227630' first='Ava' last='Brown'] </strong>- Lexington<br>Just a sophomore, Brown is putting up even better numbers than she did in 2022. The 6'2 pin is averaging 6'1 k/s as she uses her length well to get up and contact high to swing over average blockers. Her high volume effort is also very effective as she is swinging for a .362 efficiency. At 9.6 d/m, she is providing more in this phase of the game this season as well. Terminating in double figure kills every match this season, she has 101 kills over Lexington's most recent four contests, helping them improve to 9-2 overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='139291' first='Bree' last='Latell'] </strong>- Girard<br>Latell has been a critical piece for Girard every season of her high school career. The 5'9 outside hitter is offering her biggest production as she has 233 total kills so far in 2023 for a 6.0 k/s average. Starting her varsity career with 283 kills in 2020, she had consecutive seasons over 300 kills with a current career total of 1,181. She is also contributing a career best 12.9 digs per contest.

She had 580 kills in 2022 and is slightly ahead of her average from last season at 6.5 k/s. She creates a big lift that gets her above the tape well with a high elbow contact. Her elevation can get her on top of the ball and get it onto the defense quickly. An all-league and all-region selection in prior seasons, Dobbs has incredible career numbers currently with 1,345 kills, 1,280 digs, 192 blocks, and 186 service aces.
